day after day.
And yet, I wasn’t sure I had enough willpower to stop my head from turning. To stop my feet from turning. I could practically feel her just inches behind me. I could remember how good it had felt to sink myself into her. Feeling her warm walls around me, gripping me. The sound of her heavy breaths and the brush of air on my neck as I took her on the airplane.
“What are you going to do?” she whispered from behind me. She’d put her hands on my shoulders, like she was using me as a shield.
Probably die of explosive blue balls if this goes on much longer. “I don’t know. What should I do if I can’t kill it?”
“Scare it away, maybe? Just don’t kill it.”
“Don’t kill it? How do you expect me to get it out of here? What do you want me to do, punch it in the kidney until I knock the thing out cold?”
“I don’t know, Chris! But I’m not getting out of this shower when that thing is just staring at me.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll try to hurt it just a little. One sec.”
“Chris!” she said, trying to hold me back by my shoulder.
I opened the door, then stuck my head out. The little monster tip-taped around to face me. I glanced at the counter and spotted a bottle of hairspray. I made a wet, sloshing leap for it. My shoes, which were soaked, slipped and sent me crashing into the counter. I spun at the last minute, grabbed the hairspray, and unloaded a long shot at the little bastard.
It flinched away from the barrage and scuttled to a corner of the room. I dropped the bottle and let myself back into the shower.
As much as I wanted to be a gentleman, my eyes may have betrayed me a little and caught a glimpse of Belle’s body as I came in. She was covering herself with one arm across her chest and another between her legs, but it was enough. Fighting a spider with all the extra blood diverted to my cock was probably not making for the best use of brain power.
“What did you do? I couldn’t see through the glass.”
“I tried to kill it with hairspray.”
“Did it work?”
“No. But its hair looks amazing now.”
Belle laughed. “What kind of spider was it? Did you get a good look?”
“Oh, yeah. We really spent a lot of time together. I got to know him. The guy seems nice. I think he’s a web designer.”
I could feel Belle glaring at my back. “I really want to look and see your face right now, but I’m trying to be a gentleman.”
She didn’t say anything for a few seconds. “What if I don’t want you to be a gentleman? Just this once.”
I had to replay what she just said a few times to make sure I’d heard her right. “I want to clarify before I do something I can’t un-do. You don’t mean you want me to lay my coat over puddles or something, right?”
Belle put her hand on my shoulder and turned me around to face her. Her hair was wet and pressed back, and her body was dotted with little beads of water and rivulets that ran down her curves.
“Yeah,” I said, practically feasting on the sight of her. “I have to admit this was exactly what I thought was going to happen when you sent that text.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. But I’ve also imagined every encounter we’ve had since the airplane leading to this. So I’m like one for fifty.”
She gripped the front of my soaked belt and tugged me toward her, kissing me.
There were several sarcastic “dad” level jokes bouncing around my head in the moments before our lips met. Most of them went to their graves without ever earning the eyerolls they deserved, though, because I didn’t want to fuck things up.
Shower sex, in my expert opinion, was highly over-rated. So I lifted her by her spectacular ass, got two firm handfuls, and then backed us out of the water.
“The spider!” Belle stopped kissing me to try to hold onto the shower frame.
“I won’t let him get you.”
“You could barely look at him a few seconds ago, now you’re not scared?”
“If I didn’t seem scared, would you have let me in the shower with you?” I paused, clearing my throat. “Probably shouldn’t have admitted that, huh?”
“If you promise to stop talking, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.”
“Great. Let’s go to your bed.”
“Your clothes are soaked!
